GIMP Version: 2.8.20
Operating System: Windows
GIMP Experience: Basic Level

List any relevant plug-ins or scripts:
IndexprintDevelopment
(or even the previous one)

Hi,
"once upon a time" I was using under Gimp the "contactsheet" plugin and later on the enhanced and renamed filter "indexprint".
I tried to reinstall/use the last one but no luck.
Has somebody running gimp 2.8.20 on windows (64) this filter installed anr running?
Thanks

Obviously it would be interesting also if someone tries to install and run....

For info, this is the page on the Plugin Registry

To judge from the PDF you've linked to, it requires a pile of other things installing, which I'm not going to do, but I'll try to give you help debuging the problem anyway.

Have you installed all the other things?
What error message, if any, do you get?

Hi Diego.

It works well for Gimp Win 32bit - 2.8.20 and 2.9.5.
It requires additional libraries:
libglade-2.0-0.dll
libxml2.dll
and iconv.dll (only my requests).

Thanks.
All those libraries are installed.
No error, simply does nothing (no parameters input windows shown).

And if you have a library: intl.dll ?

dinasset · **Posted:** Thu Mar 02, 2017 10:21 am **(#8)**

Yes, is there.

Try a bit of hacking!

Edit the IndexprintDevelopment.py file to add a couple of lines at the top:

Code: Select all

#!/usr/bin/env python
# -*- coding: UTF-8 -*-
import sys
sys.stderr = open("C:\\tmp\\gimp_python_errs.txt",'a')

Obviously setting the "open" path to somewhere that exists on you system

Then start GIMP and try and run Indexprint

Then look in the error file. When I try this without and of the other libraries installed:

Code: Select all

OK, I'll do.

Here the result

How about a screenshot of where you've put it: C:\Users\Diego\.gimp-2.8\plug-ins\IndexprintDevelopment\ not where you downloaded it to before copying it!

last idea to check:

\Python\Lib\site-packages\pyexiv2\ ...14 files;
\Python\Lib\site-packages\gtk-2.0\gtk\glade.pyd ?

dinasset · **Posted:** Thu Mar 02, 2017 11:29 am **(#17)**

First one I have but with 12 files.
Second one is there.

I also miss this plugin in gimp in Ubuntu 16.04. I tried to install it but I could not do it. So I gave up. There was an exe file for large number of gimp plugins and scripts which contained Normal Map plugin. While installing Normal Map on Windows I had it along with Normal Map.

Just for info:

The old contactsheet v.2.16 is in the debian package gimp-plugin-registry.deb which you can install via the ubuntu package manager.

Strangely, by mistake, it installs in the scripts folder so I suppose no-one even knows it is there.

Since the package contains a host of scripts and plugins you will never use and even worse they are all in your /usr/lib../share folders, I recommend not installing that but download the deb, unpack and use what is required.

If you want to try this old plugin, it is attached: unzip, pop contactsheet.py into ~/.gimp-2.8/plug-ins check that it is executable. Find it in Filters -> Batch

looks like this in Kubuntu 16.04 64bit, Gimp 2.8.20

Version 4 works (at least a quick try & seems to) All the installation info is there on the developers web page
http://www.sullockenzlin.demon.nl/Gimp.html

Use your package manager to install

python-gtk2 python-glade2 and python-pyexiv2 plus whatever dependencies they pull in.

One folder from the zip file IndexprintDevelopment and one file IndexprintDevelopment.py go in ~/.gimp-2.8/plug-ins

The plugin registers in File -> Indexprint development. Looks like this in Kubuntu 16.04 64 bit Gimp 2.8.20
